"Sir, isn't the timing of the insectoid wave unpredictable? What if we can't compete when it happens?" Drexel, concerned about losing his shot at the ten billion astrocredits, asked urgently.
Sykes' smile faded a bit, but he kept his calm. "Don't worry. We can predict the insectoid wave now."
Drexel didn't understand how, but he didn't push further since the competition was still on.
They moved on to discuss roles.
Zephyr, though quiet, had sharp command skills and would lead, handling long-range attacks with his unmatched marksmanship.
Cirilla, Drexel, Elio, and Varden were the main attackers, ready to fight head-on.
Arix was both a main attacker and support, versatile enough to fill any role as needed.
With positions settled, Sykes dismissed them to rest and prepare for the battle ahead.
Once the young competitors left, Sykes revealed a hidden screen. Throughout the discussion, a group had been watching their every move.
